The BlueAnt Q1 is a slim and stylish Bluetooth headset with an innovative voice user interface that lets you control the headset entirely with your voice. There's no voice recognition tutorial, and the audio quality is very good
The voice controls on the BlueAnt Q1 sometimes would not work properly if the alignment is off or if you're in a particularly noisy environment. It takes some fiddling to fit the headset properly
Despite a few minor issues, the BlueAnt Q1's voice controls and good audio quality sets this apart from other headsets.
When BlueAnt introduced the BlueAnt V1 last year, we were blown away by BlueAnt's unique voice user interface, making the V1 the world's first voice-controlled Bluetooth headset. This year, it introduced an updated version of the V1 with the...

Above-average noise cancellation ; small, attractive form factor ; accurate voice recognition
Fit doesn't inspire confidence ; durability issues ; only accesses eight speed dial contacts
BlueAnt is a relentless competitor in the Bluetooth accessory market, having released dozens of headsets, hands-free speakerphones, and other wireless audio devices over the past several years. The latest is the Q1 ($129.95 list), a sharp little ...
Attractive, minimalist style. Voice-controlled user interface. Effective noise canceling
Processed, unnatural voice timbre heard at the other end. Occasional UI glitches. Poor battery life
The voice-controlled BlueAnt Q1 is a looker and a solid effort from a company that's fast gaining ground with its line of Bluetooth headsetsbut the competition has moved further ahead still.

The Q1 from BlueAnt Wireless comes with an incredibly useful voice-control helper, which is unique to the Q1 and to its cousin, the BlueAnt V1. The $130 (as of 5/6/09) Q1 is an addition to the BlueAnt product family; it does not replace the V1.
Voice-controlled interface is a breeze to use Main control button delivers tactile feedback
Call quality is all over the map Pricey
The Q1's integrated voice control is one of this headset's greatest features. If your cell phone supports speed dialing and you'd like to handle calls using your voice a lot of the time, consider the Q1. Be prepared for inconsistent call quality, though
Having the hook in place kept the Q1 in position. (At least half a dozen times when I didn't have the headset perched right and I mumbled "Redial," the Q1's interpretation was "Call speed dial eight.")The headset's button layout and tactile...
The BlueAnt Q1 looks the part of an executive Bluetooth headset, and its voice control remains cool, but it doesn't match the class leaders in sound quality or endurance.
Voice recognition, noise reduction
Isn't as comfortable to wear as some of its peers
The BlueAnt Q1 is among a group of higher-cost, good-looking Bluetooth headsets that have come out for fashion-conscious users. It isn't quite comfortable enough for business users who spend most of the day on the phone, but the handy voice ...
